Autobiographical memory: Memory for the personal events and facts of one's life.
There is no single concept called " memory " There are two overarching types: short-term, which allows you to remember the beginning of this sentence by the time you reach the end of it, and long-term, which includes unconscious habits and reflexes, general facts and knowledge, and autobiographical memory ... memory for the personal details, facts and experiences of your life.
Just like the rest of our bodies, our brains change as we age. Most of us notice some slowed thinking and occasional problems remembering certain things. However, serious memory loss, confusion and other major changes in the way our minds work are not a normal part of aging.

To really see the suffering and pain that Alzheimer's disease causes you have to really see and experience the suffering of your dear love one, it was very, very hard for me to see my mother in so much pain, that many times tears would start coming from my eyes.
